CHINESE STAMPS.

To this Enter of the "lonUKONG TELEGRAFIL"

DEAR SIRI have rend your interesting article re stamps and stamp-collecting, and note your temarks about the stamps of this Chinese limpire.

Mr. Mencarini may be a scientific philatelist, but does he know the value of the Chinese surcharged stamps which he may have in his collection?

Does he knew that they will command fabulous prices as soon as the educated and intellectual millions of the great Chinese Em pire take to stamp-collecting.

At present I don't think there are one hun dred Chinese philatelists in the whole of the Chinese Empire! What a field to exploit!

What is wanted now is a Chinese Philatelic Journal.

Stamp dealers ought to have a bright future in China where there will son be a roaring business in all things philatelic-Yours truly,

A QUESTION OF STRENGTH.

Two fokis-Lam Yut Chu, forty-five years of age, and Chan Shing, twenty-nine years, old -employed in a bean curd shop in Second Street, West Point, had a long talk yesterday about their strength, what they could do in a fistic content and what weight they could tift. Apparently this had been going on for some days and the elder man's bragging of his prowess, which he termed as second to none, got so much on the younger man's nerves that the young man-Chan Shing-tuid Lam the climax was reached yesterday, when

he tried to

that from what he had seen of him in the shop he could not hurt a fly, even if remarking: "If you think I can't fight come This settled the old fellow, and

in your life; I'll see that you don't forget it too. outside and I'll give you the biggest 'lessan' If you thrash me you'll hear nothing more about my strength." The men went out at eight o'clock last night to settle who was the the shop picked up a hatchet, while the other stronger man. The old man before leaving held a piece of firewood. A lutong in the street made them hide their weapons behind them, and passing him they selected Third Strees, a quiet thoroughfare, to come to "terms."" After they had their sleeves up-turned they dashed into each other and the fight waxed fast and furious, an occasional grunt being heard now and again when either side got home a

beauty." The hatches and the piece of fire- wood rose and tell briskly and soon both par ties were streaming with blood, the younger man having his head and face cut open, while the "bonster" received some rather serious blows on the trunk of the body, and was the. first to ensure his length in the gutter. The fight had ended, and Indian Coustable 626, who had run up on sesing a crowd, summoned an ambulance, had the old man placed inside, and holding the "victorious youngster" by the queuse, the parties were removed to No. 7 Sta- On examination it was feared that the old man's spleen had been ruptured and he was removed to hospital,, while the young man, who had serious injures, and was still "game," decided to walk to hospital. They are both in hospital now, and as, they will be discharged in two days' time, the matter will be settled ut the Palice Court.

There is every prospect of a short crop. ish ponds have overflowed and the fish have disappeared. Vegetable gardens are flooded and the vegetables are gang to waste, Whole villages are under water and the people suffer much. The Viceroy has visited the tem- ples and prayed for fine weather. For severa days and nighus all the forts about the city kept up a cannonading by order of the Viceroy in order to awake the gods and secure sunshine. The people of Shun Tak tear that the wet, cold weather will interfere with the quantity and quality of the silk crop.

OPENING OF A NEW STEAMSHIP SERVICE,

The Nippon Yusen Kaisha, which has under

contemplation the opening of several new steamship lines, has now, it is said, decided to commence a fortnightly service between Honge kong and Bangkok. Writing with reference to this subject, the Nicht-Nicht says that the Siamese trade is now almost monopolised by Germany, while Japan has been entirely ex. cluded from the field.

Of the steamship tonnage of $14,000 that entered Bangkok in 1994, 65,000 tons were British, and 87,000 tons Norwegian, while the tonnage of German strips amounted to 323,000 tons, or more than 60 per cent, of the total. The total foreign trade of Siam for 1934 was only 75 million yen, com. Consul-General, Wilder declared last night posed of 35 million yen imports and 40 million that he was net in a position to talk about

yen exports. Although these figures are not
